If you are having any troubles, please let me know the following:

1.  What version of ACE Translator are you using?
2.  What OS are you using?  Windows XP, Vista, 7, Linux?
Note: DWG is not available on Linux.  Linux users should use DXF instead.
3.  Are there any error messages you receive?

Thanks!
Hi,

Still i am unable to generate DWG file. I don't even get any error message but the DWG is not created in the specified folder.

Iam using ACE 3000 V7 Translator version 7.2.9 and my OS is Windows XP.

Thanks & Regards,
Chandrashekhar
Converting Gerber to DWG is very easy with ACE 3000 (as shown by my tutorial movie above).  My only guess is that perhaps you may not have a registered license; or you have a limited demo license that doesn't allow exporting. I would recommend contacting whomever gave you the license and determine which type you have.

Thanks!
